Hi guys,

i'm just sitting here trying to convert some postscripts into pdfs by printing them out of kGhostView. When I want to print a certain file as a pdf i have to ajust the path and filename in the "Output file"-field everytime. Unfortunatly kprinter just remebers what name i printed the last file with. It would be nice if the "Output file"-field would default to the filname of the document to be printed, adding .ps or .pdf tags.
Let me give you an example: I open the file
/home/philipp/studies/business forecasting/time-series.html and i want to convert it to a pdf.
Therefore i click on file -> print. Now kprinter shows up.
When i choose "Print to File (PDF)" it would be great if the "Output file"-field would show /home/philipp/studies/business forecasting/time-series.html.pdf or
/home/philipp/studies/business forecasting/time-series.pdf automaticly.

Thanks for the great work kde-developers did so far....

regards

Philipp
